Bills - Ability to email bills and credit notes, as you can with sales invoices

Bills - Resize the PDF doc preview
The preview window that pops up when entering new bills is a bit small and you need to almost always zoom in on the pdf to read it.
It would be great to be able to resize the different page components to make things a bit more readible.
43 votesHeya community👋 thanks for the discussions and input through this idea overtime. I know it's been quiet on our end but want you to know your feedback has been getting back to the right places.
We have a couple of features I'd like to highlight here, as well as let you know our product team are currently developing the Bills View and Edit pages in which the pain points here will be solved. 😊
- Simply upload files to bills to automatically extract and create your bills in draft for you. You can upload multiple files at once and let Xero do the grit work. Once they're ready simply review
- Smart document capture - You can simply upload your files to the inbox and Xero will take the effort out of things by extracting key data and auto suggesting create transactions for you (Invoice, Bills, Spend and Receive money)
I'll return…

Bills to Pay - Ability to filter by Contact Group
Xero is very limited by only allowing 200 invoices to show on the page on the awaiting payment screen - a filter to exclude some clients based on the client type would be helpful
e.g. creating a client type for direct debit payments would help reduce the number of invoices.72 votes -
Invoices and Bills - Mark with a "Delivered" status
After sending out an Invoice and it has been paid, it would be useful if that invoice could have an additional status, indicating (1) that the goods have been "despatched", then (2) later as "delivered"
Similarly, on a Bill, After the bill has been paid, it ships, and it would be useful if the bill could be marked as (1) shipped then (2) later as "received".
And in both cases, there is an associated shipping document, such as Air Waybill Number and associated shipping agency. The AWB can be further enhanced to provide a link to the tracking service provided…

Invoices and Bills - Use cursor keys instead of mouse or tab
Include Alt+Key options for cursor positioning rather than having to use the mouse or Tab Key. eg Search, Save, Save and continue, Approve, Approve and add, etc
15 votesHi team, thanks for continuing to share feedback on this idea.
We understand that customers have different needs when working in Xero, and we’re continuing to keep accessibility options, including keyboard navigation, front of mind as we develop.
In new invoicing, you can use Tab to move through all invoice fields and actions, including Save and Approve. We’ve also added keyboard shortcuts for key actions, which you can learn about in-product or in our Tips and shortcuts article.
For bills, our newer quick view tool (eye icon) uses a similar line item design to invoices, and Tab navigation is available there as well.
This will be especially helpful if you’re using connected apps, or the upload to bills or email to bills features, to automatically create transactions.
We appreciate this still leaves a gap if you manually enter new bills, and we’ll continue monitoring interest here and share any…

Bills - Improve Contact Matching for Bill Imports
The current bill import functionality relies primarily on contact names for matching, which creates two significant problems:
1. Unreliable Contact Matching
- Contact names can change over time
- Even minor differences (single character) result in creating new duplicate contacts
- No fallback to more reliable identifiers
2. Character Encoding Problems
- Special characters (e.g., apostrophes in names like "O'Connor") cause import failures
- This particularly affects common surnames and business names
Proposed Solution
Implement a hierarchical matching system for contacts during bill imports:
- First attempt: Match by account code
- Second attempt: Match by database ID
- Final fallback: Match by contact name
Benefits
- More reliable…

Purchase order - Include attachments when converting to Bill
When converting a Purchase Order to a bill it would be great if there was a way of transferring any PDFs attached to the PO to the Bill. At the moment you need to remember to do this manually.
67 votesHi team, we appreciate interest and why you may want to copy documents from a source transaction when creating a bill.
We want to be open that this isn't something we have immediate plans for developing. For the time being we will continue to watch the support this idea builds closely here. If there is any progress we'll be sure to let you know

CIS deduction after retention - subcontractor invoices
When creating subcontractor bills and deducting retention, the CIS includes the retention when calculating the deduction
For example, XERO should read:
£250.00
minus 3% retention (£7.50)
£242.50
minus CIS (£48.50)
= £194.00HOWEVER, XERO calculates:
£250.00
minus 3% retention (£7.50)
minus CIS (£50.00) (off the gross amount not the amount after retention deducted)
= £200.00This means that CIS deduction is incorrect.
There is no way around this currently even though similar issues have been raised since 2019 on Xero discussion threads and no solution has been made.
The only way around it offered by Xero means that payment &…47 votes -
Invoices / Bills - Option to copy line above
Whilst doing multiline bills and invoices we need a key stroke shortcut that copies the line above to reduce time taken to enter data. I was used to this in sage. I REALLY miss it. Please!!!!
71 votesAppreciate wanting this feature if the line is unique, Melanie. However, if the lines are for items you regularly buy or sell, perhaps you could set up untracked inventory items to be able to quickly select and fill fields of your invoices and bills?

Remittance - Include supplier Reference
We would love to be able to send a remittance advice direct from Xero which includes the Reference that the supplier has asked us to provide. We are having a lot of trouble with suppliers failing to match payments which is time consuming for everyone.
It would be a really easy fix!
And even better, would be when exporting a file to BACS, the Reference requested by each supplier should be included on the relevant line, not the global company reference that is currently exported. (not quite sure why it already works exactly like we want when you only export…42 votes -
Billable expense - Automatically autofill account and project code in invoices
Currently after we assigned billable expenses to a customer and subsequently when we create a new invoice with the billable expenses, noted that the tracking category named Projects as well as account code are not auto-fill. We need to fill in manually which is time-consuming, imagine there are 100 items in the invoice.
It will be very helpful and save time if the account and project code will be auto-fill in the invoice. We really appreciate your support and looking forward this can be implemented. Thank you!

Invoice - Default window size when viewing attachment
Enable Xero to remember the zoom and window size when viewing a document attached to an invoice, bill, purchase order etc.
I always find it annoying that the default size for viewing an attachment is too small and I need to increase the zoom and window size every time.

Credit Notes - Show the invoices/bills the credit is allocated to
Automate the showing of which invoice or bill a credit note has been applied to.
I work across about 20 businesses who use XERO. All waste time when the customer or supplier allocates credit to a different source document to my client. A way to avoid this is to automate the display of which Invoice or Bill a CN has been applied to, in the email templates and attached PDF's.
XERO potentially currently works on the idea that a CN is applied to the Bill or Invoice the credit was derived from - but in practice this doesn't always work,…

Bills - Ability to Reject bills, with a Note for the reason
Ability to reject a Draft Supplier Invoice and send a email to the supplier with why their Invoice was rejected.
To often, I receive invoices from Suppliers of whom have forgotten Purchase Order details or have missing information.
There is obviously the option to Approve an Invoice, nut nothing to reject.
I would like a function where I can Reject an Supplier Invoice and respond to the Supplier with why Invoice was rejected and this information is stored against the supplier and shown as a note on the Supplier History or.Would also be handy if there was icon or…

Bills List view - Adjust column widths
The new bills view has totally rearranged the columns and the column widths. I have already added my own vote to adjusting column widths but i really need to be able to sort my bills view columns in an order that is easier on the eye, and neck, instead of bouncing from from one side of the screen to the other unnecessarily.
26 votesHi team, being upfront user controlled column widths isn't something we have planned in the near term, however since this idea was initially raised there have been a few improvements that we thought worth highlighting here that may help.
Bills list experience has been upgraded and is now much more responsive to screen and devices sizes.
Along with this, you have more control over what columns are shown on the page, and the order these appear. If you click the 'Columns option on the left above the list you can select what data you'd like to show, and use the 6 dots on the left of each data point to drag and drop where you'd like these to appear on the table.
For now, we'll continue monitoring the interest this idea builds and share if there's news.

Bills - Automatically calculate Unit Price from a Quantity and Line Total
I have a bill to enter from a supplier with around 40 line items.
The supplier does not list unit prices on their invoice, so i do not have accurate unit prices to enter for each line item to match the line item total.
This means i have to calculate and enter each line item unit price individually in order to match each line item total.
If i could enter the line item total and qty, with xero automatically calculate/enter the unit price, this will make entry of these bills significantly quicker.10 votes -
Debit Notes - Add a feature for Debit Notes issued by the supplier
To request with Xero to add in Debit Note feature, which it is issued by buyer/ purchaser to the seller where under this circumstance a debit note is given by the buyer/purchaser to the seller to reduce the total value of the bills/invoices.
Currently, only supplier can issue credit note, but as buyer in Xero can't really generate debit note if encounter return of stock/reduce total value of purchase invoices & etc

Invoices - Assign billable expenses in bulk
Is would be helpful to be able assign different expenses from one bill to different customers, in one batch. At the moment you have to do it individually and then go back into the assign expenses section to do it again for each assignment, which for a bill that relates to multiple customers takes a lot of time.

Bills - Payment method shown on Bills (DD, BACS)
In ‘Bills Awaiting Payment’ it would be useful if you could assign (or at contact level) a payment method. Specifically so that anything due to be taken by DD isn’t inadvertently paid on a payment run.
